Sorry, that was untested code. My expectations of class definitions was
wrong, as it does not actually change behaviour inside it's own scope. I
thought that when you are defining a class, that when you assign a property
value to an attribute, that the attribute 'name value' will directly change
it's behaviour to include the descriptor properties of the property object
assigned. My mistake.
